<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
<p>
Architectures that rely on the RDBMS for storing large amounts of data, particularly those with write-intensive workloads, face scalability challenges. While NoSQL data stores have their advantages, making the transition comes with a number of challenges including data migration, integration with existing technology stacks, and management tooling. In this session, John Cassandra will present the process through which RHQ adopted Cassandra as a data store that resulted in a more robust, scalable monitoring solution that does not compromise the overall manageability of RHQ itself. Presenter will highlight key features, implemented using existing capabilities of RHQ, that reduce to the greatest extent possible the operational complexities of managing a new data store. He will also discuss the integration of Cassandra into a mature technology stack, with an emphasis on essential libraries and tools. RHQ is an open source management and monitoring solution for JBoss middleware. Monitoring, alerting, and provisioning are some of its key features that enable users to efficiently and effectively manage complex environments.
